Trump calls to 'open up' North Sea, get rid of windmills
Trump calls to 'open up' North Sea, get rid of windmills
Summary
Donald Trump criticized the U.K.'s renewable energy focus, calling to "open up" North Sea oil production and abandon wind turbines.
His comments followed reports of declining North Sea oil production and U.S. company Apache's planned exit by 2029.
Oil firms have reduced investments due to higher taxes and declining resources, while the U.K. aims to decarbonize its energy sector by 2030, expanding offshore wind power.
However, the offshore wind industry faces financial challenges, including rising costs and reduced investments, prompting debates on balancing energy security and green transition goals.
Can’t wait to read the news of his death. Fucking wanker.
Party on day 1
Day 2 travel to pay my respects by drinking all the soda and refilling the bottles with my piss.
On the 3rd day, go to the grave and dump all the piss I have accumulated and leave a fresh shit too
I hope his grave will become a gender neutral bathroom.
Any grave is a gender neutral bathroom if you want it to be.
The cunt doesn't want turbines purely because it "ruins" the view from his golf course at Balmedie (unsurprisingly, on the North Sea Coast), the utter self-centred closed-minded wankturtle.
The US has far bigger problems on it's plate, shit that's going on across the pond in a country he's got fuck all to do with should be lower on his list of things to worry about.
He doesn't want turbines because oil companies paid him $75 million to promote their interests.
Perhaps they did, but the whole view thing is nothing new either.
The more this dipshit is focused on petty nonsense like this, the less he's fucking up shit for real.
Except that's not what's going on here.
Trump is very much brain to mouth. He just says shit. It doesn't even have to make sense.
Everyone else takes what he says and deals with the ramifications of "what if he actually does it". The problem with this approach is that it wastes our time and energy chasing his thoughts, while behind closed doors he does his real nasty shit.
All the while, the right just praises their god that they can be racist, transphobic, homophobic, bastards.
We need to get rid of the right.
Oh no, not the golf course!
Imagine the world we would have lived in if there were oil rigs there instead.
I imagine the oil barons would find lucrative ways to keep Trump happy.
"Windmills" cringe toddler level vocabulary
Seriously. These people are so fucking stupid.
I started watching last time he got in with a kind of amused schadenfreude, mistakenly thinking that while he was obviously going to be a disaster for the US, he might be less terrible than Hillary for the rest of us.
When he was replaced by a grown-up, I breathed a sigh of relief - I’d not realised how mentally taxing it is to have someone so quixotic and deranged in that position, even from a continent away. This time he’s not even in office yet, and I’m already over the tension that his deranged little outbursts instil in me. Seeing his (and Elon’s) attention focus more over here is unnerving too, neither of them should be making decisions that affect anyone else, let alone in another country!
He's degenerated since last time I'm sure. I think he's facing similar mental degenerative issues as Biden, but Biden is receiving medical care and it's being managed. Trump is being allowed to literally tilt at windmills because it's useful to those around him.
Oh man, just wait.
I dunno how closely you follow US politics, but Trump was largely reigned in by his cabinet and the rest of the party/govt the first time around.
That is not the case anymore. All he has is people egging him on, and he will follow up on outbursts more frequently.
It's alarming just how unalarmed people are... Shit is going to get wild.
"America first!!!"
[focuses on genocidal russian needs before even being sworn in]
If you do the opposite of whatever Trump says you should do, you can't go far wrong.
I’m sure Farage will order the demolition of the wind turbines on day one of his Musk-ordained premiership
Translation: trump wants you to be dependent on putin’s oil and gas
There's plenty of country in America for him to fuck up over the next four years. We have enough problems in the UK, we don't need him or musk to add to them.
There goes Donald Quixote riding El Russia and tilting at windmills again.
The question is, what is he trying to distract from.
Sure. They can just make more oil appear in the North Sea.
Are they even trying?
Another day, another bunch of stupid shit trump said.
Was his family killed by windmills or something?
No but he vehemently opposed offshore wind farms that would be visible from his Scottish golf course
Unfortunately he was unaware that Scottish people are vindictive cunts, and now there's a ginormous wind farm off the coast of his poxy fucking golf course
RIP Janey Godley.
What a windbag..
They should just put him on a boat on the North Sea, floating in front of a couple of windmills. That way we can supply Europe with all the clean reliable renewable power we need, and then some.
How about opening up America, and getting rid of Trump?
I call for opening up Trump and removing his windpipe
O&G production is in massive decline in the UK. Norway ramps up production to sell to Europe.
UK will just import more LNG from Qatar instead of drill more wells off the English coast and let its industry die. It's the coal mines all over again.
